About

R I C H I E P O P E

Growing up in Newport News VA, I played outside in neighborhoods of odd characters, patchy grass, abandoned lots and forgotten alleyways. I played inside with American and Japanese cartoon shows, comic books and video games. As I document both life and imagination in my sketchbook, my work intertwines the world around me with the world inside my head.

I found out last night that my piece Zombie won the gold medal at this year’s Richmond Illustrator’s Club Juried Show! Ditto and British Security Bees were also accepted into the show. Thanks to the Richmond Illustrators’ Club and all the jurors! The show information is below. If you’re town that night, come out and enjoy some bad-ass work from some bad-ass illustrators.

Also, buy me a beer.

Or two.
